Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. But better to get done chest x ray to rule out lung related diseases.If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for lung diseases.
Do following things for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.

1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
3. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like Ibuprofen and Thiocolchicoside.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest
5. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2-3 days.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
